Idaho cutting season dates back !!

[mtn300]

For any of you who hunt idaho there are some major changes coming it kind of sucks. The area I elk hunt we will only be able to hunt 14 days with a rifle with your B tag. It said the reason for the reduction is the influence of the wolf population and lack of calf recruitment. Some controlled hunts though have an increase in tags which is good. http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/public/ here is the link.

Hopefully more states follow suit. (Not trying to hijack, but this is great)
